Bill Nye, science guy, returns to TV with new Netflix show
U.S. (CBS) — Children of the ’90s, rejoice! Bill Nye is returning to TV with a new show on Netflix.
“Bill Nye Saves the World” features the Science Guy — who rose to fame with his syndicated show in the ’90s — in a return to TV with a late-night-style show (complete with studio audience).
In each episode, Nye drills into a different topic to dispel myths and refute anti-scientific claims.
The show will feature special guests including Zach Braff, Rachel Bloom, Tim Gunn, Joel McHale and Wil Wheaton. Nye also will conduct experiments and demonstrations to let facts lead the argument.
According to Variety, the original series will “explore science and its impact on politics, society and pop culture.”
“Since the start of the ‘Science Guy’ show, I’ve been on a mission to change the world by getting people everywhere excited about the fundamental ideas in science,” Nye said in a statement.
“Today, I’m excited to be working with Netflix on a new show, where we’ll discuss the complex scientific issues facing us today, with episodes on vaccinations, genetically modified foods and climate change. With the right science and good writing, we’ll do our best to enlighten and entertain our audience. And, perhaps we’ll change the world a little.”
“Bill Nye Saves the World” is set to premiere on Netflix on April 21st.
